About Automotive Seats (Part 3) – Optimizing Driving Position by using Recaro

The wrong step accident of the brake and the accelerator of the car which is reported every day.

To tell the truth, there is a statistic that there are a lot of young people of 20 years old, and it might be impressed by the report the image that there are a lot of elderly people.

When the transmission of the car is a manual (MT), it is said that the runaway accident can be avoided with a considerable probability even if it steps on a mistake in a hurry because it cooperates with the clutch pedal.

Always step on the clutch when stepping on the brake at extremely low speed.Even if you accidentally step on the accelerator with the brake when parking at a convenience store, the car will not runaway just by the engine rotation if the power is cut off by stepping on the clutch.In Europe, where the manual transmission ratio is high, it is one of the reasons why missteps are not a problem as in Japan.

However, it is not realistic to revive MT cars in Japan where AT cars have become popular at a ratio close to 100%.

Against this background, new devices that assist and assist drivers in driving are now installed one after another each time a new model comes out.

On the other hand, what about the driver's side to drive?

The driver's seat condition of the car received from the customer is adjusted to a position where the backrest is mostly sleeping and the steering wheel and pedals are not sufficiently operated.

The driver's seat is by no means a place to relax.

It is basic to adjust the visibility to a position where the steering wheel and pedals can be operated accurately, and we think that it is important to correct the driving posture literally.

Even if the back of the normal seat stands up the most, I sleep a little, and I want to drive in the posture which i put up another step.

At the request of the passenger who is riding Suzuki Lapin, I have proposed the retrofit to Recaro seat for a long time.

2009 CBA-HE22S K6A Turbo CVT Mileage 92,700km

Already replaced the handle with nardi classic and made it airbagless.I was adjusting the front and rear position sibem through the 30mm spacer.

However, lapane is not only the back angle, but there is no restroom of the waist in the flat seat surface of the bench seat, and the behavior of the car must have been difficult to feel.

Customers who believe that the safety of their cars is important is the correct driving posture and training of the driver, and this time they chose Recaro's SR-7.

Remove the normal seat,

SR-7 that fits neatly without interfering with B pillar etc.

In order to prevent scraping, I installed a commercially available cover.The material is also reliable quality with a normal three-point belt through.Because it is a special product, the size is also perfect.

The basis of the driving posture is the philosophy of Recaro, a car seat specialized manufacturer.

"Sit standing"

That.

Professional drivers, such as long-distance trucks and local buses, are driving with their backs up.That's because I'm driving for a long time and I'm in a "not tired" attitude.

When a bipedal person is upright, the spine draws a beautiful S-shape when viewed from the side.

Because the posture of seating is "unnatural" for a person with a biped walk, it is the idea that sitting while maintaining the S time of the spine is the most stable and not tired.

If you sink yourself in Recaro, you will feel the behavior of the car that you have not noticed until now in all directions around the waist.

Acceleration, deceleration, turning, and even fine movement of suspension.

After you ride for a while, we will fine-tune it if necessary.We are also waiting for your feedback after mounting.
